Damn! I took the time to type out a reply in GD

[AirmensMom]

and the thread got locked before I could post it. :banghead: Don't you hate when that happens?

[XemaSab]

1. Did the OP go to troll heaven?

:shrug:

[AirmensMom]

4. Well ...

he/she has a granite cookie now. :shrug:

[Coventina]

2. I hate it when that happens. And it's always when I've witten a

masterpiece full of wit and devastating logic.

[AirmensMom]

5. Exactly!

I was really being careful to say my thing without being disrespectful ... even though the OP didn't seem to worry about that.

[DS1]

3. The checkout line thread was locked last night

:hide:

[AirmensMom]

6. Uh-uh. Different one.

No need to hide. :D

[Midlodemocrat]

7. Ya gotta be quick.

[AirmensMom]

8. LMAO!

:rofl: Well ... at least, quicker than you! :rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

9. Not possible. I have lightening quick locks.

:hi:

[AirmensMom]

11. You did great!

:yourock:

[Left Is Write]

10. Actually, I hate it when I'm in GD...

and I prove myself ill-equipped to do basic math. :D

[AirmensMom]

12. Um ...

I'm scratching my head. I'm apparently ill-equipped right now. :dunce: Explain? You didn't have to add up brazillions, did you?

[Left Is Write]

13. LOL, no....

It was a thread about John McCain in which the subject of his age came up. Apparently I'm mathematically disinclined, or else I'm stuck in 1996.

In my defense...wait...no, I have no defense.

[AirmensMom]

14. Sure you do!

If it was more than 10, you didn't have enough fingers! :rofl:

[Left Is Write]

17. I should have been tipped off by the fact that he was born in 1936.

That would make him older than my parents, who were born in 1939.

All I can say is that I must have been momentarily living in the past.

[AirmensMom]

19. Well, that's still more than 10.

:rofl: Wait a minute ... let me get out the calculator and I'll tell you the answer. :D

[Left Is Write]

20. I'll just fill you in.

He's almost 70, not almost 60.

:rofl:

[AirmensMom]

22. That's some trick!

Can you take 10 years off my age, too? :bounce:

:rofl:

[Left Is Write]

23. Well, that's what I was thinking...

maybe I'm really only almost 30!

[AirmensMom]

25. :)

And I'm really only almost 40! :bounce:

[Maddy McCall]

15. I certainly do hate it.

I've typed out four or five long paragraphs before--and the thread was locked before I hit post.

Some of my best posts are in DU limbo somewhere.

:D

[AirmensMom]

18. Yeah, and it's not just the typing.

It's the making sure you're being clear, etc. We should start a DU limbo journal thread. :D

[Maddy McCall]

24. Yes, we should!

:D

[Shine]

16. Yeah, I hate that.

but what I think is worse sometimes is taking the time to type out a long and thoughtful reply, only to have it sit there, without any obvious reaction, at all.

sometimes that really bothers me, too.

there's always SOMEthing to get bothered by, huh? :eyes:



;)

[AirmensMom]

21. You're right, Shine.

I'm still trying to decide if it's worse to be ignored or flamed.

Now, just how much fun would DU be if no one EVER got bothered? :shrug:

:D

[Shine]

27. Good point.

:7

NO fun at all....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. Check your PM, my dear! N/T

[AirmensMom]

28. Just did ...

:evilgrin: Thanks! :bounce:
